CRUSHlNG-MILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,670, dated May 26,1885.

Application filed January 28, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, EUGENE MARIE VIL- LEROY, a citizen of the FrenchRepublic, and a resident of Schramberg, in the Kingdom of Wiirtemloerg,and German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCrushing-Mills, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in mills for crushing clay, stonesand similar material; and the obj ects of my improvements are theapplication of a rolling ball for crushing the said material inside ofor'within the recess of a rotating and oscillating or swinging basin andthe means for adjusting the inclina tion of this basin. I attain theseobjects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of acrushing-mill with inclined rotating basin. Fig. 2 is a front viewthereof; and Fig. 3, a top view of head-plate, showing the ad jnstablebearing of the inclined shaft.

Similar letters refer to similar parts through out the several views.

According to my invention a heavy ball, a, of stone, iron, or othersuitable material, is placed inside of or Within the recess of a basin,b, in the center of which is fastened an upright shaft, 0. This shaft 0,which rests with its upper end in a bearing, Z, and with the lower endin a bearing, k, is inclined toward the vertical.

In the construction, as shown by Figs. 1 to 3, the head-plate g isarranged movably in such a manner as to be raised or lowered on thecolumns or stands h, in order to adjust conveniently the inclination ofthe shaft 0 and the basin 1) fixed thereon. The set screwsz' secure theplate 9 in the position required. The upper bearing, Z, is thereforeprovided with pivots which rest in the adjustable support m. To thebottom of the basin 0 is fasteneda geared ring, (1, into which engages arotating bevelgear, 6, thus causing the basin Z1 to rotate. The conicalroller f supports the basin at its lowest point.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to claim andsecure by Letters Patent is 1. In a crushing-mill, the combination ofthe inclined shaft 0, the rotating basin 1), the ball a, the adjustablebearing Z, having pivots on the sides of it, and the adjustable supportan, in which the said bearing is pivoted, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.

2. In a crushing-mill, the combination of the inclined shaft 0, therotating basin 1), the ball a, the adjustable bearing 1, having pivotson the sides of it, the adjustable support m, in which the said bearingis pivoted, the vertically-adjnstable Iplatc g, and theistands 71,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of two witnesses, this 26th day of December, 188-1.

EUGENEQMARIE VILLEROY.
